    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-83827-6 — The Cambridge Companion to Twenty-First Century American Fiction Edited by Joshua Miller Frontmatter More Information -- Reading lists, course syllabi, and prizes include the phrase “twenty-first-century American literature,” but no critical consensus exists regarding when the period began, which works typify it, how to conceptualize its aesthetic priorities, and where its geographical boundaries lie. Considerable criticism has been published on this extraordinary era, but little programmatic analysis has assessed comprehensively the literary and critical/theoretical output to help readers navigate the labyrinth of critical pathways. In addition to ensuring broad coverage of many essential texts, The Cambridge Companion to Twenty-First- Century American Fiction offers state-of-the-field analyses of contemporary narrative studies that set the terms of current and future research and teaching. Individual chapters illuminate critical engagements with emergent genres and concepts, including flash fiction, speculative fiction, digital fiction, alternative temporalities, Afro-Futurism, ecocriticism, transgender/queer studies, anti- carceral fiction, precarity, and post-9/11 fiction. . is Associate Professor of English at the University of Michigan.

  • The Entanglement of Climate Change, Capitalism and Oppression in ​The
    The entanglement of climate change, capitalism and oppression in The Broken ​ Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin ​ by Fenne Bastiaansen - student number 6551939 A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of Humanities in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts & Culture in Gender Studies Utrecht University - The Netherlands - June 2020 Supervisor: Vasiliki Belia Second Reader: Eva Midden Acknowledgements Thank you to my friends and my housemates, who made me smile when I needed it, ​ and who let me complain when I needed to. I could not have written this thesis without you. Thank you to my parents and my sister, who supported me with kind, reassuring ​ words, good advice, and who always have my back even when I doubt myself. Thank you, lastly, to Vasso, for being a wonderful supervisor, who encouraged me ​ with enthusiasm, even in these weird, pandemic times. 2 Abstract In this thesis, I will argue that the science fiction/fantasy literature series The Broken ​ Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin (2015-2017) portrays the entanglement of exploitative ​ capitalism, colonialism, and its relation to the natural world and natural disaster. I will argue that through this entanglement a cycle of inheritance of oppression and dehumanization is shown, and that ultimately, the trilogy as a whole makes an intervention in how we see the past, and how we might reconcile with it in hope to make a better future. In the first chapter of the analysis, I will show the entanglement of exploitative capitalism and colonialism and its oppressive and dehumanizing forces as portrayed in these novels.
